Invest In Disruptive ETFs!


If you’ve followed Wealthy Joe Investing, you know that I’m a big believer in disruptive innovation.

I believe we are in the beginning stages of a huge technology boom.

Catherine Wood, the founder of Ark Invest, has identified nine transformative technology platforms:

1. Deep learning

2. Digital wallets

3. Cryptocurrencies

4. Next-generation DNA sequencing

5. Battery cost tipping point

6. Autonomous taxi networks

7. CRISPR for human therapeutics

8. Collaborative robots

9. 3D printing

Trying to identify one stock that may be a winner in any one of these trends would be very difficult.  ARK ETFs (exchange-traded funds) allow you to participate without having to select one winner.  The ETFs are comprised of leaders in each technological area.

Here is a list of ARK’s ETFs, with brief information on the platforms on which they focus.  Click on the link for each fund if you’re interested in reading more detailed information on ARK’s website.
